Apple and Google Crowd Out the Competition With Default Apps

If you use an iPhone or Android phone, chances are the majority of your most-used apps were made by Apple and Google. From a report: That's the takeaway from a new Comscore study that ranks the popularity of preinstalled iOS and Android apps, such as Apple's Messages, alongside apps made by other developers. The results show that the majority of apps people use on their phones in the US come preinstalled by either Apple or Google. The first-of-its-kind report was commissioned by Facebook, one of Apple's loudest critics, and shared exclusively with The Verge. Preinstalled services dominate when it comes to basics like weather, photos, and clocks, according to the report, suggesting these categories will be difficult for other apps to compete in. Defaults don't win out exclusively, though: Apple Maps and Music don't appear on the iOS list at all, and Gmail makes the iOS list several entries below Apple Mail. The timing, as Facebook likely intentioned, is apt: Apple and Google are increasingly under scrutiny for how they favor their own services over competitors like Spotify. US lawmakers are currently reviewing a new set of bills designed to curb the power of Big Tech, including legislation that could potentially bar Apple and Google from giving their services the upper hand against rivals. The pushback stems from how Apple and Google bundle their apps and services with their mobile operating systems in ways that some of their competitors think is unfair. The criticism is harsher against Apple, given that it more tightly controls the apps that come preinstalled on the iPhone and doesn't allow developers to circumvent its App Store.

OnePlus Commits To 3 Years of Android Updates By Merging OxygenOS With Oppo's ColorOS

Last month, it was revealed that OnePlus will become an Oppo sub-brand. Now, the company announced that it's also merging OxygenOS with Oppo's ColorOS operating system. 9to5Google reports: In a forum post today, OnePlus explains that the sub-brand of Oppo is "working on integrating the codebase of OxygenOS and ColorOS." Apparently, the change will go unnoticed because it is happening behind the scenes: "This is a change that you will likely not even notice since it's happening behind the scenes. We now have a larger and even more capable team of developers, more advanced R&D resources, and a more streamlined development process all coming together to improve the OxygenOS experience." OnePlus also further reiterates that OxygenOS will remain the "global" operating system for OnePlus-branded devices rather than ColorOS, which runs on Oppo devices and OnePlus devices in China, too. It's not mentioned if OxygenOS will change visually, but it's fairly clear that will happen based on early looks at the Android 12 Beta which is available for OnePlus 9 devices. The bright side of this change, however, is that OnePlus will be committing to a stronger Android update schedule that delivers at least three years of support to the company's entire portfolio.
